Kept warm, so that the doors of the latter
may be opened without admitting currents
Of cold air.
Occasionally one notes carpeted
kitchen floor, an evidence that sanitary
laws are made subordinate to convenience.
In other words, they are reconciled to
dirt as long as it does not show. When
their carpets are washed, as they usually
are, too much water being used, the floor
beneath becomes more or less damp, and
dries somewhat slowly. This dampness
favors the development of the germs
harbored there. People will insist upon
carpeting their dining rooms especially
In winter, as they are undoubtedly made
warmer by doing SO. It would be far
healthier if they would discard all floor,
coverings except mats or rugs. Dining
room carpets receive many particles of
food from the table. These are ground
up by the feer, and then, carried about in
the air, attach themselves to wooden and
cotton textures of every kind. The steam
which rises from the food also is absorbed
by everything in the room capable of
taking up moisture. Here are conditions
exceedingly favorable for the growth and
development of germs. Therefore it is
advised that dining room floors be un-
carpeted, and mats, so small that they
can be easily removed and shaken and
aired every day, be substituted. It should
not be forgotten that wall paper absorbs
the moisture from steaming foods and
other vapors, and becomes the lodging
place for germs. Wall papers are inincal
to health in all but the largest and best
aired rooms. If in use, they ought, there
fore, to be occasionally replaced. If it is
done every spring it will be none too
often, and under no conditions should the
new paper be put on over the old. The
latter should be entirely removed and the
walls washed, for old paste, it is believed,
undergoes decomposing changes and
promotes the growth of germs. Not
only should the rooms of house be
frequently re-papered, but the ceilings
should also be whitewashed and the wood
work painted.

Heavy Weights in Congress.
Boston Courier.


Barnes of Georgia is the heaviest man
in the house. He tips tho scale at over
500 pounds and is the happiest and most
contented man in public life. Barnes
says he would not take $1,000 pound
for his flesh, and he claims he is perfect
ly happy and contented as he is He
weighs himself regularly, and when he
finds he has gained in weight he halls it
as an omen of good luck. A decrease,
on the other hand, fills him with appre-
hension. Barnes is lawyer who had
great reputation In his OVID state long
before he came to congress. He can
come back for the rest of his life If he
will only consent, as his district is nearly
solid for him. Tom Reid of Maine is
another fat man in the house. He is not
as big as Barnes but is fully as good
natured and cOntented with his heroic
size. Reid loves to joke in private pure

PRACTICAL POULTRY POINTS.
Do Your hens Law. now?

Do your hens lay, now?
In cold weather the drinking water
should be warmed.
Have window glass on the south side
of your poultry house. The more the bet
ter.
Clean poultry houses once week, and
save the guano in dry place. Poul.
try guano is one of the best fertilizers.
A good egg producing food is hnseed
meal and corn meal in the proportion of
one quart of linseed to three quarts corn
meal made into a mush and fed while
warm.
If poultrymen would fumigate their
memories when the fowls are on the
roost, they would have less roup. A little
pine tar or hot Goals, say once or twice a
week, is all that is needed.
Many farmers who read about roup in
fowls do not understand what is meant
by it. It is in plain words, a cold in the
head, acting much the same as distemper
in horses. 1t is caused by the fowls get
ting wet and also by being exposed to
draughts of air while on the roost.
Wood County reporter. [volume] (Grand Rapids [i.e. Wisconsin Rapids], Wis.) 1857-1923, 1887-02-03
Something About Feeding.

The feeding of poultry is science
and any information on that subject is
always worthy of publication. In this
connection correspondents of the Sun
remarks that it is sometimes stated that
it is just as cheap to keep feed before
the flock all the while as it is to feed two
or three times a day. have tried it,
and, though the difference is not much
and it saves little trouble, on the whole
l think it better to feed about as much
as they will eat clean twice day at least
A fowl has not the slightest idea of econ-
omy, and when she is stuffed literally
full of corn from self-regulating hop
per her propensity to hunt for something
more of different variety is so pro-
nounced that she will, if possible, waste
or destroy the feed in some way. Dry
grain will be picked or scratched
over and made to cover consider
able territory unless prevented
by some mechanical continuance. What
is left on the ground will not generally
be touched while the hopper furnishes
abundance. If given more scalded food
than she can eat clean, the overplus is
trodden on, defled, and left to sour and
go to waste. With corn or grain at
hand all the while, the hens will not stuff
and cram as they do at intervals, though
I find this last applies only after some
weeks, Or when they find that the feed
is regularly accessible. A few days
make no difference at all; SO that if
man wants to try the experiment fairly
he must continue it for several months
at least.
Another objection to keeping the food
before the fowls is that it is likely to
bring in rats and mice as boarders, and
if the hopper is in the yard tame pigeons
from the neighbors will make visits
quite frequently. These things consti
tute an annoyance as well as waste, and
SO, after several experiments, settled
down to feeding at intervals. This leads
to a regular Inspection and supervision
of the flock and its needs, and that is I'M
portant. Whenever the weather permits,
an excellent practice is to scatter dry
grain over their yards and on any sort of
vegetable rubbish that may be there, first
taking pains to have some there always,
such as straw, salt hay, cornstalks, pota-
to tops, leaves. bog hay. weeds, or even
light brush. The grain falls upon this.
and if not sufficiently hidden at first 1
take fork and turn it over. This is
done usually before the flock is let out of
their building, and when the door is
opened there is always stampede. The
grains lying in plain sight are first COB
bIed down, and then the scratching be-
gins, and such lively work is seldom seen
at daylight on some farms. Fifty fowl
will in this way, literally pulverize and
scratch out of sight ton Of weeds or
